Summary
This resource provides a comprehensive list of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers for over 300 leukocyte surface molecules. It is approved by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) nomenclature committee.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Cell Biology
- Biochemistry
Background:
- Leukocyte surface molecules play critical roles in cellular functions and immune responses.
- Standardized nomenclature is essential for clear communication in immunology research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an updated and approved list of cluster of differentiation (CD) designations.
- To catalog nearly 300 leukocyte surface molecules recognized by the IUIS.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of approved CD designations.
- Review and approval by the IUIS nomenclature committee.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive list of approximately 300 distinct leukocyte surface molecules with their assigned CD designations.
- Official approval of these designations by the IUIS nomenclature committee.
Conclusions:
- The provided appendix serves as a definitive reference for leukocyte surface molecule nomenclature.
- Facilitates consistent and accurate identification of cell surface markers in immunological studies.

16.6K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

01:26Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity
961
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
